NCB Deputy Director MA Jain said Tuesday that whatever information she gave the NCB was “sufficient for the arrest,” and was presented in a video conference before the Esplanade Court Magistrate Tuesday night.
Rhea, who has always maintained that she is innocent, was quickly taken for a mandatory medical examination at the Brihan-Mumbai Municipal Corporation LTMG Sion Hospital, and returned to the NCB office for the court hearing. In her six-page NCB resubmission request, Rhea was described as “an active member of the drug syndicate related to drug supply” who “used to manage the finances for the purchase of drugs together with Sushant Singh Raput”, not to mention whether She used drugs herself Late Tuesday night, a Mumbai magistrate sent her into judicial custody for 14 days, after which Rhea’s lawyers requested bail from the same court, which was rejected.
Since a woman cannot be taken to a normal jail at night, Rhea spent the night in the NCB jail while her legal team plans the next move, including applying for bail in higher court.
In a scathing statement directed at Sushant’s family, Rhea’s attorney, Satish Maneshinde, called it a “parody of justice.”
“Three central agencies harassed a single woman, just because she was in love with a drug addict and suffered from mental health problems for several years in the case of five prominent psychiatrists in Mumbai, who ended up committing suicide due to drug use illegally administered medicines and used drugs “Maneshinde said.
The day before her much-anticipated arrest, Rhea even took time, at the height of NCB’s interrogation sessions, to hit back at the late actor’s family by filing a police report against Sushant’s sister, Priyanka Singh. , and Dr. Tarun Kumar of RML. Hospital in New Delhi and others, alleging falsified medical prescriptions.
An official spokesman for the Mumbai police said that the complaint was filed with the Bandra police under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the NDPS Act, and according to the orders of the Supreme Court, the case has been transferred to the CBI for investigation.
The NCB had previously said that with these arrests, it hopes to “uproot the drug citadel in Bollywood and Mumbai” amid rumors that several more Bollywood personalities will come on the agency’s radar.
Previously, Rhea was questioned several times by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Directorate of Enforcement (ED). She was also previously questioned by the Mumbai police. Now she has finally been arrested by the NCB, nearly 11 weeks after Sushant was found dead in her Bandra home on June 14.
Showing confidence in her gait after the arrest, Rhea appeared calm and collected as she left the NCB office to proceed with her subsequent medical and legal paperwork. To date, the NCB interrogated Rhea for six hours on Sunday, for eight hours on Monday, and again for about five hours on Tuesday before arresting her. Maneshinde previously said that Rhea has not approached any court seeking advance bond in all cases charged by the Bihar Police, now with the CBI, ED and NCB.
